A personalized memorial poem for yourself or your loved one grieving. This makes a very touching and unique gift to have at a memorial or funeral. Many of my customers add flowers with it or it is beautiful by itself. (It also can be gift wrapped, see below). I wrote this poem years back after the loss of a dear family member. I have it sitting out in my home because of the comfort it brings after losing loved ones in my life. I count it as a sacred honor that it has blessed and encouraged so many grieving families. It reads: A Few Requests I went to be with the Lord and Heaven is like nothing I've ever seen, It is something beyond explaining; you can't begin to imagine, think, or dream. The Lord and I talked for awhile and we went over my life story, How all the pieces fit together and I marveled in the glory. Everything made sense and I now understood His perfect plan, "But I have a few requests Lord, if I possibly can, Pour your love and mercy on my family Father; for I know they are hurting so, They are filled with so much grief; it's so hard to see me go. Wrap your loving arms around them and fill them with your peace, Let them know I am always with them and never let it cease. Talk with them about their lives and to live each day as it is their last, And to take any anger, resentment, or unforgiveness and leave it in the past. Tell them to love one another and to treasure the simple things in life, Like taking a walk, watching the sun come up, or go down at night. Tell them when they do these things to think of me and How proud I am as I watch from above, At how the world is a better place now because of their love. Tell them to keep all of our memories tucked away deep inside, And one day I will be here waiting, with my arms open wide." ©2021 Holly Noel - Just the Write Gift A Few Requests is printed on white acid-free card stock and comes in two paper designs: One with white paper and no design and the other with white paper and a green/gray flourish on the right of the paper.
